They renew the - declaration of the Central Junta on the 20th March in last year; to wit,. that ,every inhabitant of Spain, capable of bearing arms, is a soldier. of his country; 'because, in consequence of the measures already taken, every Spaniard is obliged to .take up arms against the brigands who infest the Peninsula, and join the arMieS, the flying corps, the detachments, or Guerrillas, seting toge ther or separately, or composing the corpi of reserve or garrisons. •11. If on the arrival of the national troops in any distri& they shall find there a body, calling the Civic' Guard, appointed by the Ijs4rper Joseph, the Commanders of battalions and other 'superior Officers of, such gond ,ball be immediately taken before the nex► Justices ;, and in case 'the naiional troops have beef. fired the Chief or Chiefs who ordered it shall be brought before a Council of War, and upon convict eon shall be punist►ed according to the magnitude of their offence. HI. The Corregidors, Alcades, Justices, &c. of districts who thri,ugh tear of the French shall refuse facilitate' supplies of provisions or assistance so" the national tro.,ps,- shall be punished, as well as he inhabitants, tor any charges substantiated against them. IV. .The Justices of distrias; and the Officers commanding corps or parties, are ordered in arrest every passenger who shall be found bearing the or ders of the intrus,ve Governnieut, or Who shall re present himself as authorised by such Goverment to. make requisitions o f pr ov i s i ons or any other articles; he shall be conducted to the next post occupied by the national troops to be there tried and punished. V. • For every Spaniard proved to have been mur dered in obedience to ihe before-mentioned Decree of the Duke of Dannatia, the first three erenchmen taken in arms snail be hanged without fail. VI. For every house that shall be .burned without any other object in view than the execution of that system oi devastation proposed by those calling thexist4ves Marshals, Generals, and Chiefs of the gangs at the tyrant Napoleon,. the three first per sons taken belonging to the French army shall be hanged, •and as many, for every one, whatever be . his age or condition, who will have perished in the flames, or in consequence of the fire. VII. Considering that he is the true robber . and murderer whO kills and plunders from habit, the Council of Regency declares, that so long as• the Duke of Dalmatia does not withdraw his sangui nary decree, and does not alter the conduct he has observed in Spain, he shall be personally con sidered as Unworihv of . the proteoion of the law of nations, and ne treated like a robber, if :he should happen to he taken, by, any of our troops. VIII. Although no Marshal of -France ever took upon h,mtra publish so atrocious a decree as that of General Soult, calling himself Duke of Dalmatia, seeing, notwithstanding that all or the greater part of Napoleon's satellites, including therein the Usurper Joseph, as well as be Infairlous Spaniards who surround him, persist in giving no other names to the Spanish troops than those of insurgents , and robbers, the Council of Regency • declares, that until these offensive names be changdd, the French armies in. Spain shall be considered in no 'other light than robbers or assassins, and'sball be called by,no other name whenever it is necessary to men tion them.- IX. This order shrill be communicated to the Coinmanderof the National troopg, to the Captains General of Provinces, to the Governors of tor tr&ses„. and 011 those at .the head or corps, move able columns, detachments, and the leaders of Gue rillas. • It shall be communicated by these to the enemy's Generals to, whom they are opposed ; en= deavours shall be made to circulate it among the French soldiers,, that they may judge s with their own eyes, of the measures we are compelled to adopt by the inconsiderate ra.,hness of a madman.- X. The, present Order- shall be, .moreover, print ed in French and Spanish; and circulated :every where, as well within as without - the' kinkdom, that every one may become:iicquaitited with, and that all Europe may shudder at the • horrible condutt of, these enemies of the human .race ; and that all the Powers, the Allies, or rather the Slavei-of France; already too unfortunate. in !riving • their chikrea„. their • relations, and their friends in' French •armies, may see the inevitable fate' prepared for them by the cruelty of a monster. Who having been disappointed in his , plans of conquest, makes a last effort ; 'persuading himself, •without doubt, that by these means he will find no difficulty in sub jecting a nation, which never ceases to shew the su.! perlative contetnpt with which it regards such threats, and whose greatness of soul increases - so wowlerfully in its reverses, that the Tyrant of Fiance should in future be ,convinced, ti,at all his forces and thoth of his allies are far from being suffi cient to sutiura people, who have sworn to de fend their rightS, and to maintain them with equal perseverance and bravery. His Majesty has ordered me to communicate this 'Royal Order to you, that it may be published, culated, and afterwards carried into execution. (Signed) EusEBIO Dc BERDAXI and AZARA. Cadiz, Aug. 15, 1810. FROM THE MILITARY,JOURNAL OF TORTOSA. JULY 4.—At half past eight in the morning, the enemy presented themselves in several columns on the right of the .Ebro, in fioni of this place. kii4 force wascalculated at about 5000 infantry, and.soo cavalry. He immediately occupied the suburbs ot Jesus and Las Roquetas, establishing his princip.il force in the latter, and converting to his purpose nil the neTghbouring country hOcises. tbelortos aim marched oat to the combat like lions. They :brew iliewselv4 with ,impetuosity on the enemy, occasioning him great loss , and not ,AiloWing him a moment's relaxation during the. \%-hale day. JULY 5.-Ths skirmishes continued, and the en thusiasm or the peasants was redo'ilbled. , JULY was ol:erved that the enemy had'a howitzer and_ a field piece at the Church of Las Ro quetas ;' our artillery directed some. shot towards that quarter, and the enemy made a speedy retreat. At one in the afternoon a skirmishing .party was so :aaive, that it induced the enemy to attack otx artil lery, from which, according to the ihfOrtnation re ceived, it sustained much foss. . JuLy 7.---The skirmishing patties continue their operations without any circurns anew worthy of no tice. JULY B.—lnformation was received in the square, that a party Of French had reached Tibens. At ten at night they made a vigorous attack on the bridge head, and were repulsed With considerable loss. The Governor Velasco, who had refused to quit his post notwithstanding the bad state of his_ health felt much satisfaciion• from the result. Arvir 9.—At elve at night .the.enemy returned,= and renewed the attack with still greater vigour on the bridge-head ; for more than an honr,o very sharp ore was kept np on both sides. The enemy at last . repented of their rashness, and retired to their posi tions; ,but At three in 'the morning, renewed the attack with still greater impetuotty, andyith fresh troops: He was, however, Completely defeated in less time than before, and sustained great loss in killed and wounded, whom they carried off in carts and covered waggons. While the action lasted,' the pairsing of the bridge Was rendered very hazardous, 'by the vast quantity of bullets that were shot across it; but the heroic Tortosine women, animated, by the manly'spirit, and emulating the glory of the immortal Zaragozans, 'passed and repassed the bridge with the - greatest coolness, carrying water,. wine, and spirits to their gallant defenders, who fought nobly on the palisades and batterieS. Two of them were wounded, and 'the Got,;ernment. has rewarded their merit, by granting them the noble distinction of a Medallion of honour, and an annual pension of WO livres of Catalagnia. • to. On true evening of this day a German came over to our camp, and . declared that the force of the enemy at Ttbens amounted to 2,300 -infantry, and 700 cavalry ; that at Cherta they, had 30, pieces of artillery, with tour mortars ; and that their total amount on both sides of the Ebro was from 8 to 9,000 infantry, and 1,500 horse. The Tortosans do not distrust their own valour and patriotism at the sight of 'new dangers. To-day they haVe lorm ed themselves into companies, which they them selves have raised with the greatest regularity and order ; all considering themselves without distinc tion as soldiers. The greatest harmony' subsists be tween the peasants and military. JULY 11.—The enemy have employed themselves to-day, in reconnoitring our camp, taking the means, and contriving plans, no doubt, , with a view to se cure themselves against the fire of the hriOge, - to destroy 'this point• of defence, and, 'by means of another transversal line, to carry their shot into the city. • . j m ULY I 2,—On the orning of this ,day 600 sOl diers and some peasants . made a sally frwn the gar rison, with a design to attack the enemy. The re sult was unfavourable to us. Laval and Chiopiki overpowered our Ineti with a rth.cli superior force. they had placed in ambush, ann we had 86 wound ed; several mis4ing, and from 12 to 15 kilted.

It appears that on the passage of the Ebro to Tiuens, the Ftench have two barks stationed, and fastened with a cable. JULY tB".—There is a report in the garrison of .the advanced guard ot ;he Valencian •army having reached beyond Barklan,, taking care at that place 'to prevent the French trom knowing the acriuunt of. the force ou their road from that itingdom JULY !Q.—The report ot the speedy arrival of the army of Valencia in this neighbourhood is confirm ed, and we know That Stickle' is at Cherta; JuLY 20.—T0 thefeft of Aldover a great smoke ha's t:..ert observed i a peasant, who has come from 'the other side of Billet, reports that the French have set fire to an encampment, and that much fir ing was heard at a distance. People conjeeture that . this may be either some skirmish on the part of the gallant Captain Burzon,, whose party incessantly horasses the enemy, or some serious rencontre with the division of Garcia, Navarro, or Campo Verde ; and they even say that the burning of the encamp ment is a proot that the enemy is preparing to raise the siege-of that place. ,:71 JULY 21.--Eiwaly about ten at night the'French made another attempt upon the bridge head,. but were vigorously repulsed without greater loSson our part than a Ciptain and tour suldieres wounded, two of then] severely.
